In a thrilling match, Inter Miami secured a 2-0 victory over New York City FC at Miami Gardens, propelling the reigning champion back into the MLS playoff race. Rodrigo De Paul scored the opening goal on an assist from Lionel Messi, while Germán Berterame added a second shortly before halftime. The win marked Inter Miami's second consecutive league victory under new coach Cristian “Kily” González, who took over on September 16.
Luis Suárez also contributed to the win with an assist for De Paul. This success follows Inter Miami's impressive run, winning back-to-back matches for the first time since July 2023. The team had missed the postseason when Messi arrived in 2023 but has reached the playoffs three seasons in a row, though they lost in the first round in 2024 and 2025, before defeating Vancouver to claim their first MLS Cup in 2025.
